The best way to learn is to do. Don't be of those who talk a big talk, but shy away from action.

Allah swt says in the Qur'an: "Oh you have believed, why do you say what you do not do" Q61:2

Learning a programming language, library or framework is like learning a human language. you need to understand the vocabulary, grammar, punctuation and structure. The only way to master this is through consistent repetition.

The goal is simple. It is to "Git Gud". Repeat the process until you own it.

Today's task is simple - learn React.js. Although reactjs is complex, as programmers, we need to have "the know how" when breaking down code into smaller tasks into manageable ones.

If you know React, then you know Preact, nanoJSX, and React Native. Simple. Easy.

But before we learn React, we need to have a good understanding of HTML and CSS. We will be using Vite to help build this project.

What is JSX?

JSX is JavaScript XML. It allows us to write HTML-like syntax within JavaScript. It makes it easier to build UI components in React. Other templating tools similar in concept include EtaJS and EJS, which are commonly used for server-side rendering in Node.js.
